Pool shooting
techniques
If the cue ball is not struck directly in the center, spin will be
imparted onto the cue ball. Spin can be used to control the path of
the cue ball. This spin can also influence the path that an object
ball will take when it is hit by the cue ball. Unintentional spin
can cause missed shots.
If the cue ball is struck above the center of the ball, follow is
said to be imparted to the ball. If the cue ball is struck below the
center of the ball draw is imparted. Follow is over spin, where the
cue ball is spinning faster than it would from its natural roll. The
main use for this is to control what happens when the cue ball hits
an object ball. If the cue ball has over spin on it, the cue ball,
after making contact dead-on with the object ball, rather than
stopping abruptly, will resume rolling forward and follow the struck
ball. If the cue ball was hit with draw, it will reverse direction
after hitting an object ball dead-on and draw back. If the cue ball
does not hit the object ball dead-on, the cue ball will travel in a
line tangential to the point of impact between both balls if the cue
ball carries no vertical spin. Top spin will cause the cue ball to
parabolic ally arch away from the tangent line in the direction of
cue ball travel, whereas bottom spin will cause the cue ball to arch
backwards from the line of travel. Spin dissipates as the cue ball
travels, thus the effect will be less pronounced when it finally
contacts an object ball.
